Benefits of technology

[0020] Therefore, the present invention provides a transgenic plant capable of expressing one or more cell wall degrading enzymes comprising: at least one DNA comprising a cell wall degrading enzyme coding region operably linked to a nucleotide sequence encoding a signal peptide directing the cell wall degrading enzyme encoded by the DNA to an apoplast, plastid or vacuole of the transgenic plant; and at least one DNA comprising a flowering locus c gene coding region operably linked to a constitutive promoter, wherein the transgenic plant expresses the one or more cell wall degrading enzymes and a transcription factor encoded by the flowering locus c gene that delays flowering while increasing biomass and enabling isolation of increased amounts of the hydrolyzing enzyme from the transgenic plant as compared to a non-transgenic plant from which the transgenic plant is derived.

Problems solved by technology

The third concern was whether increasing the level of production of these heterologous enzymes within the plant cells would cause harm to plant growth and development.
First, heterologous E1 enzyme does not have a direct access to the plant cellulose because cellulose is in a compact mixture along with lignin and hemicellulose.
Third, the heterologous E1 inartistically from thermophilic A. cellulolyticus might have limited activity at plant in vivo temperature.

Abstract

The present invention provides transgenic plants expressing one or more cell wall degrading enzymes that can degrade lignocellulose to fermentable sugars. These fermentable sugars can further be fermented to ethanol or other products. The enzymes are directed to the plastids or the apoplasts or the transgenic plant for storage. When the transgenic plants are harvested, the plants are ground to release the enzymes which then are used to degrade the lignocellulose of plant material to produce the fermentable sugars. The transgenic plants express the flowering locus c gene so that flowering is delayed and the plant biomass is increased.
